I have finally found the cause of the relentless chronic pain and fatigue I have experienced since July of 2009. Lyme Disease.

WOW!!!

Hello everyone! Today is a very important day. Today is the first day since last July that I have had NO joint pain at all! The day isn't over as it's 4:30 pm, but I think this is a good sign, don't you?

I went to the rheumy on Monday and all my blood work looked good, so he upped my dose of azulfidine. I am now taking 4 a day. I've decided that two in the morning and two at night is best for me.

So...today WOULD BE a perfect day, however, my stupid stomach is a mess. I'm nauseous and my tummy is super rumbly. I'm resting right now in hopes it will get better. I want to enjoy the day.

I'm having some girl issues. I'm not going to go into detail with those issues because I'm not so sure they are important (or truly issues) at this time.

Glad to read that your pain levels are falling and that today is a good day in terms of RA pain. Sorry about the grumbly tummy, though. Ginger tea can be helpful, as can ginger ale. I hope you'll be feeling great in all ways soon.-Wren

Invisible, but DEFINITELY there...

Looking For Answers

This blog is an attempt, on my part, to find answers about what is causing my health problems. I am going to keep track of symptoms, triggers, etc. in hopes that maybe something will show up as the culprit. I hate having pain every day of my life. I hate fatigue. I hate canker sores on my tongue that hurt SO badly! I hate migraines. I hate not feeling well enough to go out and do things.

I want my life back!

Please follow me and feel free to say "hi" anytime! I look forward to meeting others who have been where I am and those that haven't as well.
